I’ve covered the trials of former president Trump and his family business, the fall of New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the crisis at the jail complex on Rikers Island, among many other topics. I’m really interested in the way that the written law — abstract, detailed, seemingly rigid — is interpreted and put into practice, and how it collides with individual lives each day in the courthouse.
I have worked at The Times since 2012, starting as a news assistant. I began writing about the N.B.A., new smartphone apps and a variety of other topics. I became a breaking news reporter in 2015, covering national news stories, and a few years later, I joined the Style section, where I wrote features about “cancel culture,” the proliferation of Oreo types and bitter conflict in the raisin industry. I joined the Metro section in 2021, which has only made me love New York City more.
I grew up in Washington, D.C., and studied English literature at the University of Wisconsin.
As a Times journalist, I am committed to upholding the standards of integrity outlined in our Ethical Journalism Handbook. I place a high priority on protecting my sources. I strive to be accurate and fair in my coverage and to gain a deep understanding of the issues I cover, from multiple angles.
